I am truly blessed to have three beautiful children...12, 10 and 8. This is a series from today - Mother's day in the UK.

mother's day -
my 10 year old comes to the bedroom
at 6.50am...

gifts...
my excitement
and theirs..

scented soap, writing paper, bracelet
the look on his face
as I unwrap each gift

in her hand made card
all the colours of the rainbow
and more...

my 8 year old
has wrapped his own presents:
a peace lily candle ...and handkerchiefs

three children -
discussing the merits
of each others gifts

mum..
hugging each child
tightly

You must feel very proud of your family...and I know you savor every moment.
